A little bit about me

Hi! I’m so happy you’re here! I have been working with children since I was 17, beginning my career as a live-out nanny during COVID-19. I later gained experience through babysitting and have spent the past four years working in daycare.

I have cared for children ages 1–12 and believe childcare is about much more than supervision. It’s about creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel confident. I enjoy teaching children their alphabet, counting, handwriting, communication, appropriate behavior, life skills, and more.

I am currently working toward becoming a certified elementary teacher for grades K–3. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, inspired by the caring teachers who made a lasting impact on my life.

As your nanny, my goal is to provide patience, encouragement, guidance, and support while making learning fun. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family and helping your little one learn, grow, and thrive!

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Reagen! I am very enthusiastic and outgoing kind of person. I grew up with two younger brothers, so I have over 8 years in babysitting experience.

As a member of the SACC community, I was a designated group leader who's responsibility was managing groups of children (about 10 to 15). Additionally, it has been a life long passion of mine to pursue elementary teaching, with that being said I am currently earning a bachelor's degree in early childhood education! I am someone who adapts quickly to environments and learns quickly. As childcare is what I am seeking, I am more the willing to contribute to any other needs that need to be met!

Hi! My name is Sierra, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages. I started helping at my grandmother’s daycare when I was 15, where I learned firsthand how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. In addition to that, I’ve spent years caring for my friends’ children, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities and needs.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Elkton, MD

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Elkton can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Elkton Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Maryland?
  • Do you have a Maryland driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
